چکیده
A preliminary update of the previous OPAL measurement of the inclusive production of D mesons in anti-tagged photon-photon collisions is presented together with the first preliminary OPAL measurement of bottom production in photon-photon collisions.

Charm and bottom quark production in photon-nucleon and photon-photon collisions
I discuss mechanisms of heavy quark production in (real) photon-nucleon and (real) photon (real) photon collisions. In particular, I focuse on application of the Saturation Model. In addition to the main dipole-nucleon or dipole-dipole contribution included in recent analyses, I propose how to calculate within the same formalism the hadronic single-resolved contribution to heavy quark productio...

We review the production of charm and bottom quarks in two-photon collisions at ee colliders. The next-to-leading order QCD predictions for total cross sections and differential distributions are compared with recent experimental results.
متن کاملHeavy quark and quarkonium production at CERN LEP2: kT -factorization versus data
We present calculations of heavy quark and quarkonium production at CERN LEP2 in the kT -factorization QCD approach. Both direct and resolved photon contribution are taken into account. The conservative error analisys is performed. The unintegrated gluon distribution in the photon is taken from the full CCFM evolution equation. The traditional color-singlet mechanism to describe non-perturbativ...

متن کاملUnintegrated gluon in the photon and heavy quark production
The unintegrated gluon density in the photon is determined, using the Kimber-MartinRyskin prescription . In addition, a model of the unintegrated gluon is proposed, based on the saturation model extended to the large-x region. These gluon densities are applied to obtain cross sections for charm and bottom production in γp and γγ collisions using the kt factorization approach. We investigate bot...
